Your core exercise for deltiod MASS

[ThickLEE]

FRONT BARBELL PRESS, but I disagree about the wear and tear thing. Behind the neck, laterall raises and rows are far worse for the shoulders in my opinion.

thanks

I will start some Arnold presses next week. I practiced the movement at home with no weight and like em already.

Cant wait till Tuesday.

I agree, I just meant out of those 2 movements the barbell was les joint friendly.

Without a doubt

The best excercise ever (for me) was finally switching to standing barbell press. The whole lift from the floor thing is very motivating, get some chalk- sling that barbell up to your collar bone and press out a few reps.

You can use a slight cheat (bounce ) with your legs, but really focus on the negative portion (strict form).

My shoulders finally started to grow- (and caught up with my chest and arms ) after I added this in.

Arnold Presses ROCK.

 

[ChinkNasty]

always been FULL power cleans (that is, plus the pressing movement), push presses, and standing upright rows (strict and with assistance from leg drive sometimes)...and then arnolds, side/front raises..blah blah

Dont think you really can pick one core excercise?!?! Where's Bench in there?

Each hit a Anterior, Middle & Posterior deltoid different,..then ya got other parts that make up your deltoid chain as well...Pec major, Teres, Infra & Supraspinatus.

So for me my "Core" delt lifts would be; Bench, Up-right rows, and Rear Delt Cable Crossovers

GhettoStudMuffin's Cable upright rows kills my traps and rear delts. I just developed it in the gym after modifying it from an exercise a fellow trainer taught me. It's a 4 phase movement haha.

I start with a short straight bar hooked to the floor cable and grip 6-8" apart. I keep my feet close together and lean back. Then I pull my shoulders straight back, then up, then I row the bar up 4-5" and scrunch them some more, then holding that scrunch I row the bar up the throat level, then lower it slowly and let my shoulders roll forward back down to the starting position. That's one rep. Each one of those scrunches is it's own part and should be squeezed itself before preceding to the next scrunch. This may sound stupid, but it fucking works.

dbells always. the straight bar puts mad stress on my lower back. with dbells i can keep a pretty straight spine and dont have to lean my head back to let the bar pass. and no, i will never do behind the neck presses, thats even worse.

LOL! what a difference 3 years will make.

now I rarely use dbells...
